The New Rules of Board Succession

Boards today are navigating a landscape defined by constant change, emerging risks, and evolving expectations. In this episode, Doug Chia sits down with Jane Edison Stevenson and Claudia Pici Morris of Korn Ferry to explore how board succession must adapt to meet these challenges. They discuss the shift from relying on past experience to cultivating a continuous learning mindset, and why agility, curiosity, and self-awareness are becoming essential traits for directors.

The conversation introduces the concept of “corporate wisdom” and examines how diverse perspectives in the boardroom can shape better decisions. Jane and Claudia also unpack what it truly means for a board to be “fit for purpose,” emphasizing the importance of forward-looking succession planning, evolving mindsets, and the ability to bring in expertise dynamically.
